Very good choice. Even if the young Brit has never scored points in 36 races so far. But in these races he dismantled Kubica (2019) and Latifi (2020) with 36: 0 in classification!
How good is Bottas really?
Valtteri Bottas (31) will have to dress warmly on the small circuit in Bahrain from Friday. Will the Finn be able to play his new leading role on the world championship team? Or how good is the nine GP winner who is already 131 points behind Hamilton this time? A complicated test for Bottas, with an open result!
And as Mercedes supervisory board Niki Lauda (passed away May 2019) once told BLICK: “Russell will certainly be world champion one day!”
GP premiere for Aitken
At Williams, after smooth negotiations with engine partner Mercedes and test driver Jack Aitken (25), they quickly found a replacement alongside Latifi. Aitken sat in the Williams on Friday 2020. And in 2018 the Briton won Formula 2 (currently 14th) in Barcelona.
Schumi’s long road
For Mick Schumacher, the future Formula 1 official at Haas begins at the first GP practice in Abu Dhabi on December 11.
It will be a long way up, because the official Ferrari team will be occupied by Leclerc and Sainz at the end of 2023.
Mick, the third Schumi
Exactly 30 years after the debut of his father Michael (51, 7 world titles), fans are back with a Schumi, the third after Ralf (six wins between 1997 and 2007).
Mick: ‘I’ve been in the spotlight since my early years. I got used. I would say I can live with it and my successes speak for themselves. “
“Less expectations!”
The nice young man, born in Switzerland on March 22, 1999 (“I owe everything to my parents!”), Has a lot of self-confidence: “I want to become world champion one day. But now everyone should dampen expectations a bit. “
But former Baselbieter GP driver and TV man Marc Surer (69) is already warming up hopes in Germany: “Mick can win the World Cup!”
Papa Michael Quick Start
A quick team change is almost impossible with your long-term contract. Only Dad Michael accomplished this in his Spa debut in 1991, seventh on Jordan’s grid. At the next race at Monza he was already at the Benetton and was fifth behind Mansell, Senna, Prost and Berger.
Mick Schumacher fans can only dream of it. At Haas-Ferrari you have to celebrate all the points of the championship. This remains the brutal reality, especially in 2021.
Pursuit of title and start number 47
At the weekend Schumi can become Formula 2 champion in Bahrain (14 points ahead of Callum Ilott and 43 ahead of his new teammate at Haas, Nikita Mazepin). Mick: “Maybe now I’m more relaxed and can focus. Maybe things are more difficult now! “
Schumi Junior plans to start in Formula 1 with the number 47. “My favorite numbers 4 and 7 are given to him by Norris and Kimi!” Why 47? “Our family’s birthdays add up!” 3 (Papa Michael), 2 (Mama Corinna), 20 (Sister Gina-Maria) and 22 (Mick).
